SK Wrestling has put together a list of Superstars that failed their first WWE tryout, and once you're done reading this article, you should check the video out. It contains, among others, the man we're going to talk about right now.
Long before he adopted the 'One and Only' persona in WWE, Ricochet wrestled under a mask in Lucha Underground, where he was known as Prince Puma. Wrestling fans may even be aware that he's the first-ever Lucha Underground Champion, which is a truly commendable feat.
Additionally, Ricochet also wrestled in NJPW as 'King Ricochet', where he bedazzled the world with his athleticism and won many hearts and titles. While his run in WWE has been riddled with ups and downs, one has to imagine that the future holds a lot of promise for this talented young man.
Ricochet also wrestled for Dragon Gate USA, PWG, and many other promotions before he went to NXT and his career went to brand new heights.
